A frown creased Ma Jianguo’s forehead upon seeing that Pan Zhenghui had entered. “Chief, we ought to share weal and woe with Team Leader. How would it make sense for the three of us to work endlessly while she gets to take a break?’

“Cut the crap, there’s a shortage of manpower at the Serious Crimes Investigation Unit. You guys are to report there whenever Xiaoning is not around. We’re not using you for free labor anyway, you’ll be paid your due in wages for serving the public,” Pan Zhenghui said sternly.

“You must be great at comforting others, Chief. The total wage of the three of us combined is still far lesser than what Team Leader receives. Besides, we even have to slog our guts out. Life is so hard indeed,” Ma Jianguo lamented, feeling a sudden sense of resentment towards society.

“You’ll get a raise too if you’re capable of cracking a case within just days. You’ll also get to enjoy the privilege of coming to work as and when you please,” Pan Zhenghui remarked sarcastically.

“Sigh, this is why you should never compare yourself to others for it’ll only bring about unhappiness. Team Leader, please report back to work as soon as possible after you’re done taking a break, we’d very much like to continue working with you. It feels great to be able to resolve cases,” Ma Jianguo said with a sigh.

“I know you’re feeling unjustly treated, but I can’t keep working for the police endlessly. Too much fortune-telling is bad for my health, I would need to take breaks to recharge and recuperate every now and then. Besides, I have a life of my own as well, I can’t possibly spend all my time doing this,” An Xiaoning said, glaring at him in disdain.

“Yes, Xiaoning is right. Come back after you’ve gotten enough rest. There’s no hurry, given how highly efficient you are,” Pan Zhenghui agreed.

“It’s getting late, we should all head home to rest,” said An Xiaoning as she took a look at the time.

An Xiaoning hopped into her car and began driving home slowly. Several minutes into the journey, she caught a glimpse in the rearview mirror of a car which seemed to be tailing her.

She then stepped on the accelerator and began driving faster, only to observe that the car had also picked up its speed, following closely behind her.

Sensing impending danger, An Xiaoning began to feel flustered and overwhelmed with panic.

She gripped the steering wheel tightly and sped forward. After confirming that the car was indeed tailing her, she hurriedly gave Fan Shixin a call.

She continued to pick up her speed, weaving in and out of the heavy traffic on the roads.

An Xiaoning could not help but begin to feel increasingly anxious.

She had no choice but to calm herself down and continue moving forward.

Fan Shixin immediately brought some men with him to pick her up after answering her call.

She was stuck in traffic for a total of 20 minutes.

Finally, An Xiaoning had managed to get past the traffic while the car continued to follow closely behind. Just as it was about to catch up with her, Fan Shixin arrived in his car.

Upon sight of the sudden twist of circumstance, the car then turned around and left.

An Xiaoning could finally heave a sigh of relief.

“Don’t forget to check up on that car when we get home.”

“Got it,” said Fan Shixin, who decided to take over the wheel upon seeing how frightened An Xiaoning was while the latter shifted to the passenger seat.
